4 Very WomanIy Incident.

I saw very womanly bit in horse car one day not long ago. Two ladies, both we'll bred women of the world looking creatures, entersd at the same time 4 m opposite sides of the street. They sat down and paid their fares in the lofty way usuul with women of their kind. Then one seemed to start, and her eyes fastened upon big bunch of daisies the other had. Once or twice she turned away, but senti- ment got the better of her. and she spoke out in the most childish way: "Oh, tell me. are the daisies out in the country"
 The other smiled coolly and said, "Oh, yesr'
 Then the first woman turned away and her eyes filled brimming full. Then the tears ran over, and she had to wipe them away. By this time I was interested to see how it was coming out. No ap- parently did not see it, but looked out of the window and at the daisies with perfect unconcern. Then she signaled the con ductor to stop the car. As she got up she quickly divided the bunch; laid them be side the other. ''We both love them. Let us share them," she said, and got out oi the car. Now, wasn't that pretty, and wasn't it rare? Indeed it was.-New YOrs Graphic.

Touched a Weak Spot,

A childish remark very often punctures the assertions of an older head A friend of mine was at the tea table, speaking of the necessity of courtesy and the manner ill which it distinguished a gentleman from boor. ''I invariably lift my hat to q lady acquaintance on the street. Iii fact, the practice has become such mat ter of habit that it is almost impossible to neglect this tribute of courtesy.' But, pa, remarked his little daughter, ''you don't lift your hat to mother when you meet her on the street; she's one lady you don't do it to, I knoEv' 'Oh," petu- lantly returned the father, ''she's my wife; 1 don't need to do so.' But as he made this reply his confusion readily proved that the child had touched vul- nerable spot in his claim to distinction for courtesy.-Boston Budget "Saun- tPrer v

The Head Line Fiend.

American newspapers are too much for the average Englishman. The telegraphic headings especially confuse his dull per captions. A Briron was lately complain ing of the matter. Why said lie, lit was two days before I knew that Mir Beecher was dead, don't you know I read On the Eorderland,' In the Dark Valley, etc., but didn't know it had any reference to the Brooklyn divine, and it was weeks before knew that the Oregon was at the bottom of the ocean with a goodly mail for me. Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep Hungry Pillows and such like announcements appearing each day didn't convey any idea to me, you know, that the text told of ship wreck. .''-Philadelphia Call

WE MIGHT HAVE DONE WORSE.

There's many a slip on the stony hillside Of life as we up to the summit would climb; The pathway is nsrrow, the pitfalls are wide, And we can go only one step at time. Then what wonder so many have made misstep- And fallens Let us pause ere their sin we re
 hearse,
 And still reproaches that come to the lip. For, aught that we know, we might have done
 worse.
 If we saw the pitfall are not to blame In measure-if we did not there kindly extend The hand to their savingS The sin is the same, Be the victim stranger, or be he a friend And once he has fallen-the wisest is he Who stops with blessing instead of a curse With heart full of pity-for lol it may be In climbing the hill we might have done worse.

Roll Call at the Opera comique.

There was melancholy roll call of the company of the Opera Comique in the Theatre des Varieties. M. Carvalho and his son arrived, and the manager took his seat on the stage amid &cclamations from the staff of the theatre and the people who were present. He was hardly able to speak, owing to emotion. When he said that he had come to call the roll. as was done by soldiers after battle, there was a great deal of sobbing among the women, many of whom were in mourning The chorus master called out the names, and the melancholy reply, ''dead," was ire quently heard amid the sounds of lamen- tation. The names of those whose bodies had been found were left out in the call. Ten were reported dead and eight injured London Standard.

Driving in New Mexico,

People in the east are sometimes aston ished by the stories that are told of the long drives and rides that are taken in the west. A roadster in this region that is good for fifty miles day is . rare animal. Col. J. w. Dwyer, of New Mexico, said the other day: We think nothing of driv- ing sixty miles q day. I have driven a span of horses seyeEty-fi five miles in a single day without seeming to weary them. There is something about the air and atmospheric conditions that permits the lungs of the animals to work just right all the time My ranch is thirty miles from Senator Dorsey's, and three hours is considered ample time to drive over there.-New York Tribune

A Bath Under pificultIs..

While about to take my bath in Olsu at the hotel, and when just touching the tips of my toes to the boiling hot water pre- pared for me, the whole fanlily--father, mother and three daughters came 10 wish me a pleasant bath. Before thought I ducked under the water, but stood till they left, although it did seem as though they would never ease lowing and pay ing compliments, all of which I returned, enveloped like some of the people in Fox s Book of Martyrs" in 6 blinding steam They did go at last, .anl I jumped out as red as a lobster, and feel red even now.

Natural Gas and Setting Hens.

The women in and for eight or ten miles around Anderson are just boiling over with wrath, because the terrible roaring of the immense gas well at that village has been more disastrous to the egg crop than the lOudest thunder ever heard. Not an egg will hatch. and even the old hens refuse to lay, the noise being so great tha:
 the biddies become so bewildered that they cannot return to the nest, and even forget to put shell on the egg.-Muncie Herald.

Marie Antoinette'. i, iadem in Buffalo.

A well known Buffalo man, living on the west side, has just returned home from trip to Europe. Among other souvenirs he brought with him diamond made for and worn by Marie Antoinette. The fillet is plain band of Roman gold, inlaid with d mosaic of opals, turquoises, rubies and sapphires, depicting incidents in the lives of Helen and Dido. Above this rises a spray pattern of beaten gold exquisitely wrought, supporting a border of fleur de lis composed of rose diamonds and pearls. Three of the diamonds are from the famous Golconda mines. The monogram of the unhappy queen is en- graved on the inside of the fillet This somehow escaped the notice of the auction ger, else it might have brought much more than was paid for it, 50, 800 francs. The | jewels alone are worth that. Such Q | souvenir would excite great interest if it's ] possessor cord be induced to place it on exhibition.-Buffalo Courier.

Natives of New Gninea.

A bloodthirsty spirit has recently spread among large portion of the na- tives of New Guinea, and numerous peo- pie have been killed. The reason for these murders is that many sacred houses have been built during the last few months, and the native custom requires that each of these should be consecrated with human nblood.-Chicago News.

OUGHT TO BE ABLE.

Furthermore, no man has any business to try to play on such a ground who can not hit ball almost infallibly at a dozen or fifteen feet, and who cannot, after get ting ball to play on make the circuit of the arches on an ordinary ground once out of three or four times at least. He ought also to be able to make the different sorts of roquets-to send the driven ball long distance while his own only moves few feet, to send the two along together, and 70 send his own further than the driven ball. It is very handy, too, on occasion, to be able to make a jump shot''-that Is, to jump over ball you are ''dead' on end hit another one beyond and in line with it.
 According to the rules in force in the National association, . ball is in play as soon as it is placed at the starting point ready for the first tap. It is usual among the experts not to attempt the first wicket oIl the first shot-the consequences of i failure would be too serious-but to knock down to the far corner, where the follow ing player is not likely to get hold of him. The i5.- | thing, of course, is to get hold rf tine balls, send your antagonists next r,ali behind 0 wicket, and keep your own ,,oils well together, makitg wickets when you can, and never allowing him to get Q shot except from behind wire
 | When the game is played in this way, 1t may be finished in ten or fifteen min utes, but if the players get hold of the balls alternately, and make errors once in Q while, as all merely human beings will, occasionally, the game may last for seven hours, as one of the games at the tourna- ment did last August.
 1 As yet but very few ladies attempt scientific croquet, but there is no reason why they should not. The short handled uallets necessitate rather ungraceful positions, but ladies need not use short handled mallets if they prefer grace to accuracy. But this kind of croquet is not an exhibition game, adapted to the display of graceful attitudes and pretty dresses, and meant only to bring people together ill pleasant social relations. No one can play it who does not love the game for it's own sake, and whose thoughts are not directed, for the time, wholly to the business in hand-W. A.

CR0oUET AS A SCIENCE.
A GAME FOR EXPERTS AND NOT FOR
 CHILDREN AND PARSONS ONLY.
The Modern Croquet Ground Made of Dirt Rolled Hard and Level-Hits Hard
 to Make-Few Ladies Attempt scien-
 fife Play.


 Even as set up on ordinary lawns, with arches six inches wide, croquet is game that requires an amount of headwork fully as great as is needed to play a good game of billiards. A man who is 8 very ordinary shot can win from one who hits with great accuracy if his headwork is de cidedly superior. Of course, Lam talking now about the four ball game; the game with one ball apiece is to the other what .y1cSSre is to whist, ----' 's-t s-s-f
 Ifthese things are true of the game as ordinarily laid out, they are multiplied in force many times when the ground is . perfectly level sanded dirt floor, when the arches are only one-fourth of an inch wider than the balls, and when both play CTS arc skillful enough to hit an exposed ball from end to end of the ground and to hide their adyersarys ball behind a wicket with great accuracy,
 The modern cFoquet ground is made of lirt rolled as hard as need be and made as level as billiard table. It is surrounded by slightly raised border, so that balls do not go out of bounds, To prevent roll l ing the surface is sanded slightly The 1 wiCkets set firmly in block of wood planted ten inches deep in the ground, and are of thick enough wire to resist a heavy blow. The balls are of hard rubber, 3 IA inches in diameter. The wickets are l 3 1-2 inches inside measurement. The mallets may be of any pattern or size that suits the fancy of the player, but the most approved style is one with head ten inches long, having hard rubber ends se- cured by steel band, and with a handle about fourteen inches long and rough ened so as to secure the grip. The best of them screw into the head and are per fectly round. The ground is laid out with two stakes of iron less than an incl in diameter, two wickets at each end ana two on each side, in line with the second arch from the stake and with a doublt middle wicket set crosswise. This middle wicket consists of two arches like the rest joined over the top and about flfteer inches apart The ball must be sen through both of these ct a single shot The only way to do this, with fair pros pect of success, is to take roquet from 1 ball a short distance from the arch an, get in the jaws of the first of the pair Q wickets and ut the next blow go througl them both.

HARD TO ACCOMPLISH.

To get in position in any other way is next to impossible, because if the center cs the ball is as much As sixteenth of an inch to one side of line drawn directly through the center of both wickets you cannot go through without carrom, and carroms, in croquet, are mighty uncertain things for most people to try. Professor Charles Jacobus, of New Brunswick, can make the shot I have described ct the center wicket, and he introduced it with great success in last years national tour nasnent at Norwich It is now called after hin-thc Jaeobus shot, A year or two before that, while he was living at Matawan, he introduced another carrom, which has since been called the "Matawan | twist'' His adversary's ball was in the ''cage," as the double center wicket is 1 called. His own was on the other side Of the corner wicket, almost in the jaws of it, and directly wired from the ball in the cage and from the other balls. Mir Ja- cobus struck the further wire of the cor ner wicket, carroned from it, going through the arch, and hit the ball resting with such apparent security in the cage. It is not often, however, that games are won by such sensational shots. It is steady, accurate play and good manage ment that tell in the long run.
 I had often wished for standard of comparison between persons who play a good ordinary game like myself and the real experts made the comparison the other day, and it came out just as I ex- pected Ill nine out of ten games the man who is called a splendid player'' by his very ordinary competitors would make about two arches playing with Mir. Jacobus, or Dr. Reed, or MT. Botsford, or any other of the cracks, and the chances are that he would not get hold of the balls at all during the game. With a weeks practice, and nfter becoming used to the ground and the narrow arches, he might do better, and bother the expert seriously, but he would not be likely to win single
